Origami birds. First flash!

They're really lovely! Well done! :o)

Aww they're really nice Job well done!

Aw, they look great, well done ;-)

Love these!

They're gorgeous!!!

Do you mind me asking how you made them (and how much do your fingers hurt)?

Wow - I love these! Such a cute idea x

Thank you everyone! I'm happy with them. OH says we'll probably start naming them all!

Grumps - we looked online for instructions on how to make them, but YouTube is the best place to really help. (You can stop and start the video, and rewind confusing sections if you get stuck) Once we did it a few times it becomes quite fun and quick to do! Fingers didn't hurt this time, but after making 1001 they might! Lol!

Grumps - p.s. we bought origami paper, but you can make them from any square piece of paper (obviously, the bigger the square, the bigger the bird!)

They're lovely! We're doing this too, although haven't done any for a while!!

This is our box so far:

(Sorry if that's a huge pic!) got about 250 so far! Good luck with yours!!

Ps what are your plans for the big ones?

Amazing! You've done loads! After seeing your box, I'm now getting concerned about where to store 1001 paper cranes! lol.

We're not sure what to do with the big ones! We have a marque as the reception, and a white ceremony room, so might attach them to string and hang them from the rafters as decoration, and maybe use some as wedding favours/hiding in the bouquets. I'm guessing we'll have a lot to play around with! Lol.

What are the plans for yours?

Haha I know! I don't know where we're going to store them all either!

Aw that sounds lovely! You could put some on the cake too - a bride and groom crane

I'm not sure what we're doing with ours. I don't think I realised how many there'd be! (Daft really) I'd like to hang them all together like a curtain, but not sure where to put that then. Was also considering hanging from tree outside but if it rains they'll get wrecked and also it'd take ages to hang them! Decisions decisions!

Hello everyone! Thought this would be the best place to ask, if other people are making them as well. Where is the best place to buy good and cheap origami paper? Need it in bulk!

Thank you in advance!

Hi!

Im not sure where is best/cheapest but I got a load of mixed colour paper from hobbycraft to do ours. It's not specifically origami paper - I didn't know that existed, its just coloured paper. You could look online too, ebay or stationary websites.

Good luck.
